Title: Green Trigger and UMD Door LED Mod Questions
Post by: ProperBritish on January 02, 2008, 10:32:18 AM
1. Should I use Solid or Stranded 30 AWG Wire?
2. For green LEDs should I use a 20 Ohm 1/4W Resistor? (Im using the 3.6V point, and the LEDs are 20mA 3.2V ones)
3. Where in the UK can I get resistors?
4. I forgot.

That is all.

1. i don't think it matters, in fact i don't know what gauge wire I'm using, i just use what ever i find in my class room :)
2. you can find LED calculators here: Modding Basics (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=6475.0)
3. hmm, i think the guys here on the board use Mouser (http://www.mouser.com/), once again i find mine at school ;)
4. i also forget stuff, and then i try the search button, but it does not always help though, hope this helps

      Commonly use is the 30 AWG (solid) and the 10 ohm 1/4 watt on mostly all of your led hook ups. When in doubt, please use the provided link above. Its a big help.

Im gonna wire 1 resistor in on the +. The resistance calculator does them in parallel, with multiple resistors. for my circuit, 22 Ohm 1/4W. If i find out the actual resistance, I can use that resistance as a single resistor in my circuit.

R=1/(1/22+1/22)
R=1/(3/66+2/44)
R=1/(5/110)
R=110/5
R=22

Still....  :angry:

Im so confuzzled.
